Building Instructions

2 hours of fun on Sunday with the daughters. Each of them was taking turns, walking with them around the house and using them

This is the Coffee Pot, along with a coffee mug. It was 2 hours of fun

This is the "most valuable player" robot. It has many possible modifications, including ones that allow it to bend and reshape. Attachments and redesigns will soon be linked here, so you get an idea of the few ways MVP earns its title.

This magical wardrobe is for little dolls wear and bags. It could be a part of every doll play at any time. Yes. We have daughters.

A hand-driven Ferris wheel for a cascade scene—something like the famous Ferris wheel moment from the movie Le Boulet.

Or imagine a story where... a chicken fights two hunters and sets off an explosion so powerful that the shockwave launches the chicken to the top of the highest cabin, while the hunters are blown so far away they don't even appear in the thumbnail! Or... well, yeah, I remember a story...

Just open your mind to the strangest and most unusual story you can imagine.

Estimated weekly playtime with a good story: ~2–3 hours.

Do you like playing bowling? How about playing it with a Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor set? Well, these are the building instructions for the bowling pins and "playground". In order to play bowling with a robot, you'll first have to build one. This particular construction was created to be used with Tricky - the smallest Inventor robot - and its Kick the ball attachment. You could later spice things up and try to play it with the Turning attachment for Tricky.

Are you a football fan? Here are the building instructions you'll need for the construction of the Football Goal, if you decide to play it with a Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor set. You'll also need to build the smallest robot Tricky with its Kick the ball attachment. The Mindstorms/Duplo ball is included in the set.

You know those constructions that you need to push or pull something and you get a cool chain reaction, right? Here are the building instructions of such a Chain Reaction built with LEGO Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor set. This construction was created to be used with the smallest Inventor robot Tricky and its Kick the ball attachment. The goal is to program the robot to kick the Mindstorms/Duplo ball, included in the set, so that the ball could push the lever and start the chain reaction.

You remember Mighty Coffee? Well, my wife is looking at me building Mighty Coffee and is like "Why can't we have a beer?"...yes, the world around me. At the end of the day we had a Mighty Coffee and MBEER and we realized that both of these are not appropriate for 6-10 years old, but nevertheless the children had a lot of fun with them. They were pouring coffee in the beer mug, then put the whole Mighty Coffee into the beer mug they played probably for about an hour. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 this beer mug is just clean and beautiful. Only with blue frames. As an engineer I tried to construct it the first time with the children and then ask them to construct it without following instructions. Try it. It is like a puzzle. Build it the first time with the 3D Assembly Instruction and the second time without any instruction.

Play time for a week: ~1-2 hours in total.

I was looking around the house and thought, "This will be fun for the kids—let’s build a coffee machine." Little did I know just how fun it would be!

Built from the LEGO SPIKE Core Set 45678 and the LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680, this coffee machine has a lid that can be opened and closed, and it's the perfect size for the hands of a 6–10-year-old child.

What my daughters did with it was have coffee with their other toys. They had fun building it, and found it especially exciting that the lid could open and close. As an engineer, I also took the opportunity to tell them a bit about the valve on the machine and why it's needed.

Best ~2 hours of play for this week!

Estimated weekly play time: ~2 hours in total.

You can't play basketball without a hoop. So here are the building instructions of a Basketball hoop built with LEGO Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor set. The other things you'll need to play this game at your own home are a Mindstorms/Duplo ball, which is included in the set, and, of course, a robot. This hoop construction was created to be used with the smallest Inventor robot Tricky and its Basketball attachment. When you are ready with the constructions, you have to program the robot and start playing. Who will score more points in this robotics basketball game?

The name of the game? Football!

This Kick the ball attachment for Tricky - the Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor smallest robot - is one of our favorites. Imagine a LEGO robot playing football. It is dribbling through the center of the field, it enters the box, it strikes and... goooooooal. What a fun game to play at home, if you decide to build Tricky with this kicking attachment. Aptly named for it’s “trick shots” with the included Mindstorms/Duplo ball. After you're ready with the construction of this robot, you'll find the instructions for building the goal frame below.

These are the building instructions for the Writing attachment for Tricky - the Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor's smallest robot. If you build this attachment, you can program Tricky to write different things with its pen by moving. The animation in the instructions below will give you a better perspective for its abilities.

Zatter is the big brother of Zat and Zatty. Zatter is here to take the load. It has a large container on its back, suitable for placing different toys inside and playing with them. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 it was designed by my wife and just slightly improved by me and my colleagues. We spend a good hour or two with the kids placing different plush toys and playing with it.

Play time for a week: About an hour

Zatty is the smaller sibling if Zat. Zatty is small and cute. It's a car on a frame with 4 small wheels and of course two mini figures riding in it or on it. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 it was designed by my 7 years old daughter and then slightly improved by me and the colleagues.

Play time for a week: About an hour

Let's play some basketball

Tricky might be the smallest Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor robot, but it's definitely one of the greatest. If you build Tricky with this particular Basketball attachment and grab the Mindstorms/Duplo ball, which is included in the set, you'll unlock a whole new level in playing basketball at home. Yes, yes, we know that you'll also need a basketball hoop, so you'll find a link for it below.

"Do. Or do not. There is no try!"

You probably remember this famous line spoken by Yoda in the film "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". We've created FREE 3D and animated building instructions of LEGO's Star Wars "The Child (75318)" build-and-display model. Except the obvious cuteness overload, we did our best to create the 3D steps in the easiest way possible, so you DO manage to build "Baby Yoda" successfully, because trying is not an option. Fun you shall have, in 3D you shall build! Ready to go?

Tempus means time in Latin.

Time flies when you are having fun! Luckily, we have this robot to keep us on top of our schedule. Tempus is a robot that is made to look like a clock. The two hands are each connected to a motor and are positioned between the two motors. This makes the robot simple to build and effective in showing how a clock works.

This robot looks a bit weird. Can you guess why? The motors are placed in opposite directions. One of the motors is facing "forward" while the other one is facing "backward." This means that if you tell both motors to rotate forward, the robot will just spin! To make the robot move forward, you will need to make one motor rotate forward and the other backward.

The goal of this robot is to teach students that motors can be placed in various ways. It is not always the case that both motors face the same direction, and this needs to be accounted for during programming.

The robot is named after the South Pole–Aitken basin, the largest impact crater in the Solar System that has been discovered on the far side of the Moon.

Astronauts, prepare to enter lunar orbit! This robot comes equipped with a stand that can hold a camera or a phone in order to take a picture of the far side of the moon. If your phone or camera does not fit, the stand can be easily modified to suit your needs. With its two motors, Aitken can make both wide and narrow circles around the Moon to ensure the perfect shot!
